[have some laughter coming over the journal, Paradisa]

Hey! You know this soda? It's really good! It tastes like... um...

I forgot what I was going to say.

Isn't it New Year's Eve? So we should be having fireworks, right? Let's all go watch!!

[ooc: yeah. drunk!Percy is pretty much this]

I don't know if it's just me, but I really miss the insta-babelfish thing that the castle always did. No matter what world you were from, we all somehow understood each other. It was really cool!

But not here. The only phrase I know in French is "Parlay voo Francay?"

[Percy is doing his usual thing of hanging with his jellyfish Pokemon buddy. Percy has just finished telling the Tentacool about the expedition and the journal picks up a lot of noise from Alcaeus-- not that it will make sense to anybody]Hey, um... castle people? Aside from my friend in the lake here, has anybody ever seen a giant squid around the ( Read more... )

[Filtered from First Gen/their allies/other bad guys/etc]

Hey. I guess you guys figured out we all made it safely back to the castle. I heard about this fire and betrayal thing over the journal and want to help. So if there are any plans, let me know.

[Percy is still trying to piece things together. The changes to the ghosts don't help much. He stands in the hallway, trying in vain to talk with them. Turns out he forgot the journal conveniently records all conversations]

So what's going on here? Are you all Lares? Why are you away from camp? [naturally, the ghost doesn't answer him] And what's ( Read more... )

[Percy lets out a yawn]

It is way too early for this. Couldn't we have least gotten a warning so we could grab some extra clothes? [because standing outside in your pajamas is not fun]

[not that Nico isn't always quiet, but since the head thing was probably freaky for some people, Percy decides to check on his cousin. He stands for a while staring at the empty room]If anybody knew Nico di Angelo, I thought you should know he's gone from the castle. Wherever we end up going when we disappear from here, I know he'll be okay. He's a ( Read more... )

[Percy is sitting on the docks of Camp Half-Blood watching fireworks. The fireworks blossom into scenes from his past. In another part of the camp there's a chariot race going on, and the Hunters of Artemis are playing Capture the Flag against campers in the forest]

I'm not... really back home, am I, Annabeth?

[the blonde girl he addresses just ( Read more... )

[this first part Percy's going to try using his horse language power over the journal. Since the language barrier seems to be down he figures he better test this now rather than later]

Hey. If there's any pony who can understand me right now, let me know.

[and now dictated in English]This place finally feels as strange as it should be. All these ( Read more... )

Everyone keeps saying that while you're here in Paradisa, time stops back home. But as usual, I end up being the exception of the rule. One of my cousins was here and she said I disappeared back home ( Read more... )
